Moh 31 THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Pastor Leaves. Vol.13,No.51 EXPRESSION Pastor Rev. R. T. Sims, D. D., tendered his resignation to the 1st Baptist Church, Moss Point, Miss which took effect Feb. 26, 1922. When the Rev. preached his departing son from John 14:27, 28. "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you, I go away." Many hearts were touched and quite a number of tearful eyes seen. The Reverend himself broke in as he saw his congregation coming. Many expressed their regret to see him go, end of the good he had done since he had been their shepherd. Many said, "he is the best preacher, we have ever had." Others said, "We will never get another like him; his life was that of a Christian genteman. He lived as he preached." The following persons broke Mrs. Rosa Hubbard said, "Ho has stopped in our home for more than a year and six months; we have been greatly helped through his prayers and Scripture reading every morning. I have earned more of God's word through this partor than any that have ever been here. My whole family has been male better. My wandering boys have been brought back to the church and are now helping to feed the Sunday School and B. Y P U. Our whole church and all of its parishes have improved since Dev. Sims has been our pastor. He has shown an interest in everything belonging to the church. We hate to see him go." Mr. T. J. Corey of the Zion Church said, "Prov. Sims has been a great help to me and to all of Moss Point. The life he has lived and the great rememns he has preached have been inspiring to all. We are making a reltate to let him go. He is needed here in Moss Point." Sirter J. Roy of the M. E. Church said: "Prov. Sims, you have done great good in this place, and a great help and strength to me since you have been here. I want you to pray for me where-ever you go." Sister Marla White said: "I have been great in the hats to are you no. The G S. B. Y. P. U., and Missionary Society are doing better since you have been here than I have ever known them." Bro. Albert Hubbard said: "I know I have been helped through Rev. Sims since he has been here. I had no interest in the church nor any of its auxiliary; now I am president of the P. Y. P. U., and a member of the Bible Class and save the work. Really I hate to see him go." Bro. Samuel Richardson said, "Ev ery time Dr. S'ma preached, I got something ert of his sermon to help me; in fact, we have never had a man here who has been as he pful to us as Dr. Sims." Bio. E. Millender said:—"We will not give another like him. He has lived a Christian gentleman and has preached a pure and clean Gospel. I wish he would stay with us always. Yes. I hate to see him go." Denson H. Hubbard said: "We all love Dio. Suns, he has been the greatest help to us of any preacher we have ever had. He has been in my home for more than a year and has lived a gentleman throughout our town. No one can say anything on him but a Christian gentleman. The most has been lained by him since he has been here on the coast; he has but not a mere school. He will all ways "he in our memory. I really heta to see him go." B.o. J. W. Waller said—"Yeah, we will ove Dr. Cne. He has helped us al, and we would rather have him than any one we draw. We want him to move here with us that he may be more Lol, to us and we trust word and row of it. We will have him back with us. I think we him leave us and have the time to soon come, when we can have him to move here with us." President Missionary Society of the First Baptist Church, Mess Point, Mississippi.

EV. R. T. CIMS AS A LEADER --- Mr. President, Officers, Members of Friends of the Preachers' Instta With pleasure I come before you read this important paper. Ior, over six years ago, Rev. R. Sims landed in Gulfport, (His record was far ahead of him,) at that there was a man leaving Canto Mississippi, coming to take charge of Gulfport, as a leader. He was received here in Gulfport, as a leader not only for the Baptist Church but for his race. He has proven himself equal to the task; while here in the First Baptist Church, we saw truthfully say, there has never been another leader to provide him or succeed him. While pastering in Welcome H of Wiggins, Miss., his leadership was o great until tears crest still being shee at the leaving of this great man. Since Rev. R T. Sims has come t this town as a leader the Gulf Coast Association Lad faith in this great man's ability as a cader, therefore, certed him as Moderator of the Association. in the five years' time, with God to lead him and with the faith the Gulf Coast Association had in him as a Christian leader. He has succeeded in buying 32 lots and erecting a beautiful two story school building, equipped and in service with an enlightened enrollment of students, and clear of debt. With the work that has been accomplished and is now going or through this great leader we are unwilling to have him go from us. If he must go he goes against the will of the Association, the churches have shepherded and the Ministers and Deacons' Institute which he has been teaching since its organization. (Two Years ago) (Pau in the 11th chapter to Roman, said: "Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." The Gulf Gulf Coast Association was for something. Praise God through the five years leadership of this great Moses of ours. Bio. Pastors, Bro. Dercons of this Institute, please hold up your beards and look through the city of Gulfport to Pine Grove Addition and behold the evidence standing there—two story building. The things that have been hoped for; there stands the evidence, thro' the leadership of this great men. Col send us another leader as this great Rev. R. T. Sims. Half of Litt's Roc Baptist Church.

Dr Clark, who is ready to take the fle'd once more, is a young minister, was called to the field of the ministry in the year 1912 as a full minister of Christ by the Baptist free society. He was converted in the year of 1908 in the British West Indies, Jamaica, he was also born in Jamaica in the parish of Honover and also was educated in Jamaica. He was graduated in the college of Micco Institution as a school teacher B. A. After his conversion he was sent to the Ministers' Thecoculal Seminary Micco, Spanshtown, Jamaica, B. W. I. In 1912 March with this young lad was ordained as Dr. divine work of Christ on the plan of his salvation. He left Jamaica in the latter part of the same year that he was ordained, for South America in the city of parma and was to pastor a church with a congregation of 175 members. In the year of 1918 in time of the great world war this minister being full of vamping spirit in him, he asked for his resignation from his church and with that spirit he wrote to his British counsel that he wanted to go shoulder to shoulder blood' his request was granted with a grnd recommendation to the U. S. Headquarters Military Force. This a grand recommendation to the U. S. Headquarters Military Force. This young minister was recommended as chaplain in the world's war and returned for enlistment after the demobilation of the emergency men was expired and has served his time all but a couple of weeks and he will be ready again for the Gospel field—and are here ready to wake up the dreaming world. Dr. Clark is not only wanted to preach to the people or only stand in a pupil as a pastor, he declared: but he desired to chose his work as an Evangelist even as Charles T. Russell waked up in his power of righteousness and to decare to the dying world, even as I may stand with a light of scope to help to redeem the heathens in Africa and in China; even if my feet never reach the solid, may I be able to send books to the missionary that they may be able to read to cheer their wounded spirit of love to God. That I may be able to open up the dark rolling rock of time, and are asking the prayer of his fellow men and travelers unto eternity under the impression of his doctrine at the present time he has two edged sword all ready to cut the joint of sin and are promising far better work and with his pan and his effort he believed that he will be successful through the help of Jesus Christ. He is also preparing to get his book established which will bear the title of The Searchlight of Righteousness. Rev. Clark is able to give a wide experience since he left his home for the last ten years; has nearly met every nationality on the globe and with a wide experience of human nature has widely opened his eyes and caused him to know that a part of the world is yet dark. Dr. Clark has also taken a course of law from the La-salle University and is climbing for another title which will be won soon. Junction City, News.

GOD is Love and All Men are His CHILDREN. Some of us have gotten a long ways off from the parent blood in our practices against our fellowmen. READ a colored paper whether you like the editor or not; it is not the editor, but the news he gives you and the amount of good he is accomplishing that counts. WHAT is the use of fighting against a force that will not be downed and can readily appreciate selfish attitudes. S It is the duty of all intelligent people to read some colored paper, and yet the colored editors ought to strive to give the intelligent colored man matter to read that will not be an insult to his intelligence. The colored papers of Wichita, are deserving of much consideration. GO to some church, Sunday, Brother. You are not doing as much as you might for yourself and your race out of the courts of God's Holy Temple. You may feel that you are, but against you stand the statements of the world's greatest thinkers. God will use you to the greatest extent when you are working in full harmony with His forces. SAY, it is so funny how people will help a lie to travel, yet truth after truth is allowed to fall to the earth only to rise after years of investigation. That man who does his bit to kill a tale of filthy gossip is as great as a conquering army. Did you ever notice that the people most given to gossip are generally the most ignorant people in a community. No man who does not believe that the female of the race no matter what her faults may be, is the fountain head of future racial grandeur, has any right to live in this age. Our women have come up through ages that placed on their shoulders a double burden of sorrow and shame; yet, the glory of their unfaltering fidelity to the men of the race outshines the lustre of the noonday sun; and when the race halts to rest at the summit of successes yet to come, it will do so because of the unwavering loyalty of its women. The Negro women are doing things let the men strive with renewed vigor. S THE man who fights organized forces of the race which derive their sublime principles from Heaven's written and unwritten text books, is impelled by one of two reasons: LACK OF SENSE and appreciation of the operative agencies of God that work thru organization, or to benefit a self-centered aim, born out of an egotistic ambition. Organization is the Hope of the Negro Race and FRATERNALISM is the spirit of the force that will lead him into a higher position of respect in the eye of other races. No race of people will thru the race that cannot like or admire its own. AN attack on the teachers of our race is a method often employed out of a spirit of malice on the part of so-called race leaders who have not sense enough to know that our teachers are the vital factors in the mixture of forces that are daily solving the problems of our future racial success. Brother, our teachers are just like you, only they have a little more knowledge than you possess; otherwise their virtues and faults measure about equal with yours; they are just folks, you know. MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED UNIVERSITY PRIZE FIRST IN SERVICE --- THINGS worth while are—to remember that all men are born free and have no right in this age to be bound by narrow prejudices without a right to reason for themselves. That other men think therefore, strive to discredit no man either by words or deeds. Be willing to give and expect to take. Give Love and Take Offense, without murmur. Regard service as men's gift to promote the race and humanity in general; but remember that as a rule you cannot pay for it at face value, so demand but small amount. Smile and talk, but never let the other fellow know your position until you are ready to wage battle. Strend first and last for principles rather than men. Play your part to the best of your ability, but lose no time hearing self-constituted critics. IT may be worth while to STOP AND THINK as much as it is to rot in the mire of Scandal and Sink in the depths of a he'llish he. It is all right to have a highly developed sense of love for all men and women; but it has never been profitable to LOVE ANOTHER MAN'S PROPERTY. To play in the gold of a summer morn with the harp strings of life renewed by some worthy thought concerning the doings of your neighbor; To see and admire the good the other fellow is doing, and remember that he has as much right as you to success and its sweetened fruits; To live on the mountain top yourself and be ready to throw a rope down to the fellow who seeks your level; To laugh often, but grin se'dom; To remember that a man who does not regard small things, cannot handle big propositions; To resent some things by a method of silent contempt; To believe that your blood belongs to your race—These are all things that make a race. THERE may be several pages yet to be written before a finished history is prepared for ages yet to come of the wonderful accomplishment of this modern age. There is a chance that a black-faced man born under the heated sun of Afric clime, may in years to come stand on the erased boundaries of the present civilization and marshal the advance of heathens now awakened to the echoes of progress. The spread of Christianity means but one of two things: The full recognition of the Brotherhood of all men and Fatherhood of God in which all nations will stand equal, brought about by the spirit of love on the part of the white man or a determined effort on the part of the world's black forces to impress it by the force of might. In the sign of the cross, ye shall conquer. Wfl it be by force of universal love or by force of armed might? The duty of every black man is to lose slight of radical tendencies and get PROPERTY EDUCATION. CHRISTIAN CHARACTER, there are silent forces that are to dictate the terms of future world peace. These are the arvatic homos that will destroy all barriers erected by racial prejudice. G. L. A. Club Meeting. On Tuesday afternoon, the members of the G. L. A. Club met at the home of Mrs. S. W.

James was born in Butler County, Oct. 11, 1903, where he resided but a short while prior to coming to Wichita, with his parents. He spent his boyhood days here attending public school; he was a member of St. Paul A. M. E. Church, having professed a hope in Christ in 1919. He was a lovable boy, loved and respected by all those who knew him best. He leaves to mourn his absence, a father, mother, several brothers and sisters and a host of other relatives Rev. J. R.

Mr. and Mrs. Judge Neely, Fay Neely, brothers and sisters, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Embry, And re'atives. Atchison Kansas Notes. The program given in the Lincoln School auditorium was very entertaining. Last Thursday the program rendered by the 6th grade was much enjoyed by all who heard it. The teacher, Miss Pertilla Penn, who trained these boys and girls, was highly complimented. Rev. Skinner of Coffeyville, made some very timely remarks. Rev. Skinner also preached a very able sermon Wednesday evening at the Ebernezer Baptist Church. Text: "He that endureth to the end shall be saved." The sermon was an able one and one that will dwell in the mind of all who heard it. The funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Porter, was preached from the A. M. E. Church Sunday, April 2nd at 2:30 p.m. The funeral was largely attended as Mrs. Porter was an old settler here and member of a number of lodges. She was also an ardent worker in the church and will be greatly missed. Rev. King of Topeka, officiated. The funeral of Mrs. M. Young was held from Campbells Chapel A. M. E. Church, Wednesday, April 5. Rev. Tucker, pastor, officiated. This was another old settler and the funeral was largely attended. The song service at both funera's was very beautiful and effectively rendered. Text: 1 Cor. 11:26. "For as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death 'till He come." Subject: "The Lord's Supper." Pastor Cartwright began his sermon by saying, "Whenever I see any one refusing the Lord's Supper, I always say one of two things is the cause; either the person has not been re-born or he does not understand the meaning of the Supper. Brethren and Sisters, I hope you will give me your undivided attention, if you do there will be no cause for misunderstanding hereafter on the part of those who are sitting under the sound of my voice. Should I ask you how many ordinances belonged to a church, some of you could not tell me. delighted with the work being done. Those who renewed their subscript- tions and are helping to push this cause are:—Mrs. J. To bert, Mrs. B. Winlock, Mr. Frank Williams, Mrs. Ida M. Balance, Mr. W. C. Neely, Mr. Robt. Brown, Messrs T. Z. Neely, A. Prather, M. Leake, Geo. Wilson, A. G. Chaney, II. Lewis, B. Freeman. Mr. W. M. Emory of Greenwood, Mississippi is also numbered with those renewing. All of which we ar- very thankful. Mr. Burt Thomas and family of Des Moines, Ia., Mrs. Al Garland of E dorado, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Reynolds, Mr. Henry Neely of E dorado Mr. W. C. Neey, Jr., of. Florence Kansas, were here in attendance at the funeral of Mr. James Neely. However, there are two:—Baptism and the Lord's Supper. They did not find this origin in man. Each comes to us directly from Christ. Both were observed by Him and both commanded by Him. Baptism represents a new birth or the beginning of a new life. The Lord's Supper sustains this new life. Baptism gives us full association and fellowship in the church. The Lord's Supper is a sacred memorial intended only for members of the one body and represents the body of Jesus and the wine the blood of Jesus; in parting of it unworthily, eateth and drinketh lamination to his own soul. Brethren and Sisters, every true member of the church has access to the Lord's Supper, according to the rule laid down by the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." The pastor went on to show why all true members of the church desires to celebrate the Supper. They count it a privilege and a pleasure to memorialize this. They realize that unless they eat the flesh of the Son of God and drink His blood, they have no life in them. The sermon alzo showed the weak, sicky, sleepy condition of the church was caused by not eating of the body and drinking of the blood of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, properly. ZION NOTES.

Mamie Smith Jazz Revue Is Called Finest Colored Attraction On Road. Theatre goers of this city will be matinee and night April 10, at the afforded an opportunity Monday, CRAWFORD THEATRE, of witnessing what has been styled the finest colored show in America, when Mamie Smith and her company of entertainers appear here. Mamie herself is a reigning favorite in this word of syncopation, and she is to this generation what Black Pattl was to the last. Mamie Smith's phonograph records are among the most popular ever produced and her personal appearances have been greeted by large and enthusiastic audiences in all parts of the country—north, East, South and West. This season Mamie carries an entirely new show which has been rated by the press as the "cleanest and most wholesome colored attraction now touring." Nothing suggestive or coarse has been allowed to creep into the entertainment, just wholesome, melodious and joyous syncopation and genuine comedy. So great has been the demand for seats for the Mamie Smith performances that it has been necessary to extend engagements in many cities. In the spring Mamie goes to London, to fill a deferred engagement which was booked last season. She will take with her the same company that appears here Monday night. 50 YOUNG CORN FED BABY BEEF Purchased for this sale.

Those songs were very closely connected with slavery and all that slavery meant. 3.

Vheyare the only connecting link between the young Ne- groves and their ancestors, 6, They increase spiritual fervor because they were born o adversity and tribulation. 2 iu they are sung in the right spirit, a revival is sure to fol- low. . 8. These songs of our fathers should be preserved with their best and truest interpretation. : 9 These are the original JUBILEE SONGS.

From him to whom: much is givea, much is required. The potenti- alities of the motion picture as a source of amusement, which fs nccesaarys and as a moral influ- ence and educational factor are limitless. “If this is so, and it is undeni- able, then just as that opportun- ity is great; so in Jike measure is the responsibility. That re- sponsibility is accepted. Our association {s dedicated to the aid of the industry fn the dis- charge of these obligations. It isa task that commands the best efforts of every one, “With an appreciation of this industry's importance in busi- ness world and a full knowledge of its own great future, yet in that spirit of humility which recognizes difficulties and limi- tations; this association takes up its work in the confidence born of knowledge of its own earnst purposes and with the conviction that we will have the sympathy and/co-operation of all those connected in any way with the jncustry itself and the co-operation and sympathy of the public, ‘whose servant the industry is.” BICYCLE RIDERS ATTENTION!
